Key Concepts in This Episode

1. Sales Call Anxiety

Erin explains why coaches fear sales calls, how to reframe the conversation as a low pressure consultation, and why detaching from the outcome builds confidence and clarity. She also shares a simple structure for talking about pricing without overexplaining or apologizing.

2. Leaving Your Full Time Job

Instead of thinking about a "leap," Erin encourages coaches to think in steps. From evaluating your financial needs to building your client base gradually, she offers a realistic approach to transitioning into full time coaching without panic or burnout.

3. Pricing Your Coaching

Why clarity and confidence matter more than the number itself, how to avoid "explaining" your price, and how Change Talk naturally leads to the moment where pricing is simply a logistical step.
